Sure, it inhabits skeleton soldiers, and guides a three-eyed wolfbeast- but only when people are messing around with its immortality. The mass is an entity that acheived immortality. I could not find a meaning for the word *gogolithic*.

She is guided by what she thinks is a god (us), to destroy an ancient evil being, the Gogolithic Mass. Their burial grounds/mounds stand to this day.

Superbrothers: Sword & Sworcery EP (2011) aka S:S&S EP aka Sworcery is a music-inspired cosmic adventure videogame created for a broad audience. Like a well-executed joke, the pleasure is in the experience more than it is in the retelling. And it all feels natural, largely thanks to Sword & Sworcery’s talent for rewarding even the smallest interaction. Inspired by this direct connection, the game’s stellar puzzles elide familar tropes by compelling players to bend and fold the land, manipulate the cosmos, and play waterfalls like harp strings. Its gameplay feels a bit like playing a traditional LucasArts adventure, but by swimming in a pool-fluid, with every touch generating a response from the environment. Its story is a vividly strange stew of myth, pop psychology, and prog rock that merits immediate entry into the High Concept Hall of Fame, right between Laser Floyd and The Silmarillion.
